/**
 * Localized string variable resolver.
 * 
 * <p>
 * The format for this var is <js>"$L{key[,args...]}"</js>.
 * 
 * <p>
 * This variable resolver requires that a {@link RestRequest} object be set as a context object on the resolver or a
 * session object on the resolver session.
 * 
 * <p>
 * Values are pulled from the {@link RestRequest#getMessage(String,Object[])} method.
 * These in turn are pulled from the resource bundle associated with the servlet class where the request was made.
 * 
 * <p>
 * Since this is a {@link SimpleVar}, any variables contained in the result will be recursively resolved.
 * Likewise, if the arguments contain any variables, those will be resolved before they are passed to this var.
 * 
 * <h5 class='section'>See Also:</h5>
